We want to calculate the ASCII sum for each word in a sentence and the sentence as a whole using map function and dictionaries. For example, if we have the sentence −
"hi people of the world"
The corresponding ASCII sums for the words would be : 209 645 213 321 552
And their total would be : 1940.
We can use the map function to find the ASCII value of each letter in a word using the ord function. Then using the sum function we can sum it up. For each word, we can repeat this process and get a final sum of ASCII values.
Example
sent = "hi people of the world" words = sent.split(" ") result = {} # Calculate sum of ascii values for every word for word in words: result[word] = sum(map(ord,word)) totalSum = 0 # Create an array with ASCII sum of words using the dict sumForSentence = [result[word] for word in words] print ('Sum of ASCII values:') print (' '.join(map(str, sumForSentence))) print ('Total of all ASCII values in sentence: ',sum(sumForSentence))
Output
This will give the output −
Sum of ASCII values: 209 645 213 321 552 Total of all ASCII values in a sentence: 1940
